Winemaker John Pedroncelli Jr. is Dry Creek Valley’s most experienced winemaker with more than 40 vintages under his belt. He is one of a growing number of Californian winemakers that are gaining a cult following for their Petite Sirah. Expect a deep, dense wine with rich ‘bumbleberry’ fruit flavours and hints of briar, black pepper and earth. It’s the wine equivalent of meeting a 300 pound biker named ‘Tiny’. |
